Have you seen the email going around about not buying gas on May 15th? If you have will you buy or not buy gas on May 15th. Here gas is not close to 3:19 a gallon. it's crazy.

Stupid!
So let's assume 100% compliance. That means anyone who would have filled up on the 15th instead fills up on the 14th or 16th. So the gas companies have record sales on those two days, and none on the 15th.
Companies do everything by month and quarter. For the month and quarter, no difference is made. Even if the protest lasts a week, still no difference, as everyone tanks up before to get them through that week.
The only way to "protest" the high price of gas, is to boycott using it. Take public transit or buy a Prius and teach those SOBs at Exxon, Iran and in Detroit.

go to snopes.com and see what they say, that same e-mail was sent out a couple years ago, it's a spoof. I agree with you about the prices though, it's shameful that oil companies can post the largest profits in history, recieve government money for research instead of spending their own, and charge us such ludicrous prices at the pump.

If I need gas I am getting gas. Doing that will do nothing
